GRACE NOVACHECK, 13, from Texas, has undergone 33 major surgeries in her short life. Grace has Escobar syndrome, a rare condition which causes joint contractures. This affects her jaw, neck, arms and legs. Grace also suffers from scoliosis - where the spine is curved to one side, impacting her mobility. Doctors were unable to diagnose Grace-s condition for the first month of her life. She-s also had a spinal fusion, coronoidectomies, a cleft palate repair, plus a jaw distraction and jaw stretches. Grace needs help with everyday tasks like getting dressed in the morning and putting her leg braces on. She has also experienced judgement from others. Despite these setbacks, Marcus has never let Grace-s condition get in the way of her achieving goals

This is my cousin, she-s definitely a joy to have around whenever we see her. She-s so very talented and she never lets the downs in life take away her joy. She is a very good piano player and she is soooooo smart. I never knew that she went through this match, it-s truly eye opening. Seeing her go through all this but seeing her every Christmas, seeing how happy she is, is truly amazing!

If I met her I would go up, ask what her name was and end up being her best friend
Also I play piano and volleyball too! They are very fun and teach me a lot! Overhand serving could help too that-s what my team focuses on

Since i got sick with AFM in 2009 I have had over 30 surgeries. I was 15 whenever i wokeup a quadriplegic. So i completely understand what it feels like to go tthrough so many surgeries.

I-m so happy that I-m not alone. I have scoliosis as well and it-s been very difficult. But people who have scoliosis like us. We can get through it together as a team!

Well done young lady. Of course people will stare at you sometimes, but that's OK. Pretending that you don't look different would be a lie. You are awesome and potent!
